As someone who has been using Windows for decades, I must say that the latest development with Windows 11 and its aggressive advertising has left me feeling like a worn-out doormat. It seems that every time I turn on my computer, there’s another ad popping up, this time for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Microsoft Defender. I remember the good old days when Windows was just about using your computer without constant interruptions.
Users of Windows 11 might have come across an ad for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 lately. In addition, several PC users encountered another type of notification, not advertising the newest Call of Duty game but rather promoting Microsoft Defender and Microsoft 365, albeit subtly. These notifications sparked criticism and a series of articles accusing Microsoft of overly aggressive advertising on Windows 11. Windows Latest was among the first to notice these ads. They also received confirmation from Microsoft regarding the advertisements; however, the tech company labeled them as “notifications.
Our review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 commends the game across multiple aspects – its campaign, zombies mode, multiplayer, and revamped movement system. It’s important to note that the game is highly appreciated, making it one of the top Xbox games launched this year. However, some users have expressed frustration over promotions for the title on Windows 11 via push notifications.
On Windows 11, advertisements are no novelty; I’ve been expressing my disapproval of ads on Windows for quite some time now, and I’m far from alone. Interestingly, the way these ads were presented, such as promoting Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Microsoft Defender, is not a new tactic. However, due to recent news surrounding the game, an ad for it popping up within Windows 11 has drawn notice.
